About: I have taken care of and lived with pets most of my life, starting around age 10. At any given time, I lived with/cared for 2-4 pets, consisting of cats and dogs, both young and senior (including puppies). I am experienced in all kinds of care - from daily check ins (bathroom breaks, feeding, and playing) to overnight care! I love to be around pets and would love to help out with any pet care needs. I am a full-time college student, yet home for the summer and need a summer job. I will be free mostly every day of the summer. I have an online summer class, but that won't take much of my time at all, so I am very flexible. I can care for pets in any way you might need - I am experienced in all sorts of pet care, including walking (short and long), playing with toys, administering medicine, feeding, and litter box cleanup.


“Lindsey is the best! She gives us great peace of mind as she's very thorough and does a great job. She is always timely, prompt and a great communicator! Thank you, Lindsey! You're the best!”


“We are SO thankful we found Emma! She went above and beyond for us (our vacation coincided with Hurricane Ian) and took excellent care of our cat, Pepper. She is flexible and communicative. We could tell she really cares about the animals and is respectful of the home. We recommend her and will definitely use her again and again!”


“Helena house sat and watched my cat Lola over the holidays. Lola is very shy and hides more than she is visible. I was thankful to have Helena be so patient with her. I will definitely have her come again and recommend her very highly.”


“Jessica was absolutely fantastic! Very attentive to my 2 cats, communicative, respectful, punctual and very sweet. I couldn't ask for a better cat carer while I'm gone to ease my anxiety of being away from my senior cats. I will definitely use her again if the need arises.”


“Antoinette was so amazing!! She was on time and kept close contact with us. We are first timers using this app and we couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Highly recommend!!!!”


About: Taking care of animals isn’t just a job to me, it’s a hobby! Giving them the proper care they need brings me happiness everyday! I’ve had animals since I was 5 years old, and I’ve learned so much as a I got older. Bathing them, making sure they have a consistent food schedule, and giving them love and attention is my main priority! I will love your fur babies like my own and give them the best care they need. I’m currently working in a restaurant, so my availability would be Sunday through Thursday the full day and night, and every other Friday and Saturday. In your home I’ll first make sure your fur baby trusts me and gets used to me as I know I’m a new person in their home. I’ll make sure their properly fed with your schedule, bathe them if need be, taking them on walks every couple of hours, and giving them one on one attention.

“Michelle takes great care of my kitties!”


“This has been a wonderful experience for both Mishu and I. Lisa and her daughter Aeryin could not have been more attentive to all of my cat’s needs. I was sent daily updates with pictures, which I loved. Mishu got to try new activities and even bonded with the other animals at Lisa’s house. My cat came home looking calm and happy! I’m so pleased with this experience and we would definitely love to repeat it. I recommend Lisa and Matthew as excellent and responsible pet sitters.”


“Annie is wonderful. She not only fed and cared for our cat Misty daily but she was kind enough to bring in our mail and pull the trash cans up from the street. She is very flexible and is willing to help out as needed. We paid her extra to water some outdoor plants, which took almost two hours of her time. I must reiterate, Annie is very willing to help you in anyway she can. We will definitely be contacting her again!”


About: I’ve taken care of my own pets and know that every pet is different! Whether it’s lots of exercise or lazy days, I’ve always been around animals and care deeply for their health and happiness! I have a dog that needs a lot of attention and care at this point in her life, I have had her since I was in about 3rd grade and I always make sure she is the happiest pup. I also take care of my friends dogs on occasion to let them run in the yard and eat their breakfast/ dinner! Make sure they get lots of exercise or whatever their specific needs are like giving them medications / pills or even stopping by to make sure they get their stretches and companion time in!

“Our pup loves Christine! It was just a short visit while we were on our way home but we are booking her for several days in August and I’m happy we found her!”


About: I have years of personal and volunteer experience caring for both dogs and cats. I raised and cared for two small Schnauzers, and I’ve also looked after about three medium-sized and two large dogs, taking them on walks and making sure they got plenty of exercise and attention. I volunteered at a dog shelter where I helped feed, walk, and care for the dogs regularly. I also cared for the cats at the shelter, ensuring they were clean, fed, and happy. At home, I’ve taken care of my grandmother’s cats—brushing them, feeding them, and spending quality playtime with them. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and always treat them with love, patience, and responsibility. My schedule is very flexible, as I run my own business and manage my own time. I spend a lot of time at home, which allows me to give pets the attention, care and companionship they need throughout the day. I’m available for walks, feeding, playtime, and any other specific routines your pet may have Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where animals can feel safe and relaxed. I always follow any specific instructions from the owner, including feeding schedules, medications, and routines. I take the time to build trust with each pet, going at their pace and making sure they feel comfortable around me. Whether it’s keeping dangerous items out of reach, supervising outdoor time, or simply providing a quiet, cozy space to rest, I’m committed to creating a safe and loving atmosphere. Communication with pet owners is also key — I always keep them updated and informed.

“Danielle has been doing weekly drop-in visits with my dog Toby for almost a year now. She has been a pleasure to work with and someone I can always count on. She communicates promptly, is very friendly, and gives constant updates on how the visit went. I highly recommend trusting Danielle with the care of your pets.”

Sarasota Springs cat parents share their Rover experiences
Tracy was so great with our cats! We had a great vacation knowing our cats were well taken care of and happy! We really appreciate her!

Jessica was great with the cats. She followed the directions we left for her and the cats warmed up to her quickly. Would definitely recommend and rebook her for future trips.

Oana does a wonderful job communicating about her daily visits and is very experienced being a vet technician.

Harmonie did a great job taking care of our cats! I reached out to her last minute and she responded right away, and was available to come the next day. She sent lots of photos and a detailed report with each visit. It was so reassuring to know that my fur babies were being so well taken care of while I was out of town!

Monica is a wonderful drop-in sitter. She updated me after every visit and I could tell when I got home attention was given. Will have her as my #1 go to when I need a sitter again.

We are repeat customers but this was her first time with our new kitties. It puts us at ease knowing she will care for and love on them in our absence.

Crysta is incredible! I have been so apprehensive about having someone “we didn’t know” watching our cats, and I am so happy to have found Crysta! From the first meeting, to texts and pictures every day, to even wanting to know when we were home and that the cats were okay, her service was amazing. We will be using her again! (I think I have one cat that pawsitively will insist!!!)
